The Widener Center for Violence Prevention is proud to host, Take Back the Night, a day of events to promote awareness of sexual assault and domestic violence.
The events will begin at noon on Wednesday, April 4 in University Center (14th Street between Melrose Avenue and Walnut Street) with the Clothesline Project, a display of T-shirts created by survivors of abuse and those who have lost loved ones to violence. Guests will also have the opportunity to create their own T-shirts in dedication to victims.
Several workshops will also be held throughout the day in University Center, starting at noon with a self-defense workshop presented by the Chester Police Department. Following that there will be a presentation by the Kappa Sigma Fraternity on the role of men and how they can help.
At 6 p.m. in the Atrium of University Center there will be guest speakers from Domestic Abuse Project Women Against Rape and an “Open Mic Speak-Out,” the evening will conclude with a candlelight march through the campus to demonstrate a unified stance against all acts of violence and abuse.
Each session is free and open to the public. For more information, please contact Trisha Kozlowski at 610-499-1247 or trisha.kozlowski@gmail.com/.
